Abstract

The systems we study are homogeneous bilinear, single-input:

$$\dot{x}=(A+{{u}_{t}}B)x$$
(1.1)
$${{x}_{k+1}}=(A+{{u}_{k}}B){{x}_{k}}$$
(1.2)

where the state space is R n0 = Rn - {0} (since the origin is an isolated equilibrium point), and the controls u are scalar. We are concerned with conditions, sufficient or necessary, for state controllability of these systems for bounded or unbounded controls.
